Vintage Tribal Tassel – Silver, Silk, and Cloves Ethnic Adornment

This vintage tassel, likely crafted by the Baluchi people of Central Asia, is a rare functional ornament that once adorned nomadic tent entrances. Composed of sterling silver, silk, glass beads, and cloves, it measures 30 cm tall and carries the authentic patina of age—the silver is naturally tarnished, and some cloves have been lost to time. A museum-quality piece with historical documentation, it's both a scented textile treasure and a window into Central Asian craftsmanship.
